On air

I only know what I can see 

So I imagine what could be 

Where the horizon cuts the air 

Look for me out there



Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky 

Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky

There must be a thousand ways 

Holding us within this maze 

Every path we take leads us astray 

Comfort me my only son 

Till the day my work is done 

There's no earthly reason we should stay



And when the wind gets under these wings 

You will feel what freedom brings 

Stay right by me, walk don't run 

I don't want you flying too close to the sun



Turn your eyes towards the light 

Steal away in silent flight 

The skies are calling out to you and me 

Over sea and over land 

God protect us with your hand 

Bring us safely to our destiny



And now the wind is under our wings 

We can taste what freedom brings 

Stay right by me, walk don't run 

I don't want you flying too close to the sun



God forgive his fall from grace 

The sea conceals his resting place 

Can we learn to stay behind the line 

If we have the means to fly 

Some of us will surely die 

Being reckless was his only crime



And now the wind is under our wings 

We can taste what freedom brings 

Stay right by me, walk don't run 

I don't want you flying too close to the sun

All along the shoreline 

There are footprints by the sea 

They head into the distance... 

Then they lead right back to me 

I made the break to freedom 

Now I'm following the dream 

You're never going to get here 

If you hold the old routine



Now everything we possess 

That fills our empty lives 

Is only good for leaving far behind



We are blown by the wind 

Just like clouds in the sky 

We don't know where we're going, 

Don't know why 

We just ride with the wind 

And we'll drive through the rain 

We don't where we'll get to 

Or if we'll get back again



Call along the valley 

And you just may find us there 

I couldn't say for certain 

Cause we may be anywhere 

Head into the sunset 

Or just wander out to sea 

Wherever your heart leads you 

Is the place you're meant to be



And someone who could be impressed 

With ordinary lies 

Could really use a little peace of mind



We are blown by the wind 

Just like clouds in the sky 

We don't know where we'll go, 

But we'll get by 

We just ride with the wind 

And we'll drive through the rain 

We don't where we'll get to 

Or if we'll get back again



Now everything we possess 

That fills our empty lives 

Is only good for leaving far behind



We are blown by the wind 

Just like clouds in the sky 

We don't know where we're going, 

Don't know why 

We just ride with the wind 

And we'll drive through the rain 

We don't where we'll get to 

Or if we'll get back again

Another passenger 

"Your baggage thank you sir" 

I don't wanna go 

What am I doing here 

I feel so sick with fear 

God don't let it show



I must control myself 

You must control me too



Cover my eyes cause I'm so high 

I can't look down 

I'm scared to fly and I'm so high 

I can't look down



They say they'll care for me 

But I would rather be 

Both feet on the ground 

What if the engine dies 

These are no Friendly Skies' 

My head's spining round



It's all a twist of fate 

But it's myself I hate



Cover my eyes cause I'm so high 

I can't look down 

Afraid to fly and I'm so high 

I can't look down



I must control myself 

You must control me too



Cover my eyes cause I'm so high 

I can't look down 

Afraid to fly and I'm so high 

I can't look down 

I can't look down.....

A boy flies for freedom 

But dies for the peace 

In the clouds, he waits for an answer 

But there's no release



It's strange here without you 

And it's so hard to see 

So brother up in heaven 

Please wait up for me



Oh brother up in heaven 

Please wait up for me



I still see his shadow 

His laugh lingers on 

When I dream, we're all back together 

When I wake, he's gone 

It's strange here without you 

This was not ment to be 

So brother up in heaven 

Please wait up for me



And though we try to change the world 

A flower when it's cut will surely die 

So why do men with so much hate 

Destroy what they cannot create 

While we all stand by



We will look back in anger 

But you helped us to see 

So brother up in heaven 

Please wait up for me



Oh brother up in heaven 

Please wait up for me

What's the use of worrying 

If we'll be here tomarrow 

All we need to be is here today 

Don't care if you're rich 

Or if you have to beg and borrow 

You can always find a way 

Dive and breakaway



Fall free 

Freedom's in the air 

It's calling you 

Your heart is there 

Fall free 

Blaze accross the sky 

The perfect fall 

The perfect high



Mother earth looks peaceful 

As we climb towards the ceiling 

We must be ten thousand feet or more 

Hear the windrush screaming 

While we fight to curb our feelings 

As we stand beside the door 

Let our spirits soar



Fall free 

Freedom's in the air 

It's calling you 

Your heart is there 

Fall free 

Blaze accross the sky 

The perfect fall 

The perfect high

We say welcome to the mission 

Show us all what you can do 

We need a man with vision 

So we put our trust in you 

And now we hope sincerely 

That you'll do the best that you can do



Oh for sure it won't be easy 

And we will have to risk our lives 

Some will try to break us 

And cut us down to size 

But jsut remember 

There can be no consolation prize 

Not in our eyes



It's a long way to go 

We can't wait one more day 

We need someone to light up the way 

We may run out of time 

Can you hear what we say? 

Because heaven is so far away



Although time is getting short 

There's still some sand left in the glass 

And now we have a living breathing 

Rocket man at last 

It's time to take a step 

And nail our colours to the mast



No more talk of great adventures 

When it's movement that we need 

It must be our intention 

That we never loose the lead 

So count us down to zero 

And let's get up to speed 

We're up and away



It's a long way to go 

We can't wait one more day 

We need someone to light up the way 

We may run out of time 

So believe what we say? 

Because heaven is so far away



And so now they cry for justice 

As if justice will be done 

But the eye up in the sky 

Was flying to close to the sun 

The Challenger has fallen 

And the race has now been run....

Where does a dream belong 

Locked in the mind on the edge of time 

Like a ship lost in a storm 

How do we find the key 

Longing to see, through the artist's eye 

Maybe only birds can fly



The man must be insane who knows 

A mind alive with images so strange 

So close but never rode the sky



Watching the birds as they sail on the wind 

Trying to figure out the reason why 

Picturing wings held together with string 

One day to fly



Someone said and I believe 

Try if you dare, you can walk on air 

A dream is all you need 

A circle that takes you high 

Lighter than air as the Earth goes by 

Through a spiral in the sky



The man must be insane who knows 

A mind alive with images so strange 

So close but never rode the sky



Watching the birds as they sail on the wind 

Trying to figure out the reason why 

Picturing wings held together with string



Just a charcoal sketch on canvas 

Made them laugh but now they see 

That the artist had a vision 

That the wind could set us free 

It's a bridge until tomarrow 

Taking us beyond the sun 

As the artist paints his picture 

The story's just begun



Analyzing, criticizing 

Fear of the unknown 

Theorizing, visualizing 

The road to take us home 

If it takes forever 

Someone's gonna fly 

We may never get to heaven 

But still we're gonna try



Watching the birds 

As they sail on the wind 

One day to fly

I only know what I can see 

So I imagine what could be 

Where the horizon cuts the air 

Look for me out there



Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky 

Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky



If I could kiss the Earth goodbye 

And cruse the never ending sky 

Where the horizon cuts the air 

Wait for me down there



Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky 

Someday I'll touch the blue blue sky
